I'm going to have to disagree with a lot of you. I had two horrible band directors coming up through middle school and high school (before I went to Interlochen). Both started out as jazz trumpet players and got Ed degrees for the reasons listed above. If you get an ed degree, do it because you want to teach, not just because you need the paycheck. I almost quit music several times and ended up having to transfer to a private school because these boneheads couldn't teach their way out of a paper bag (No, I'm not bitter). I'm sorry to have to disagree with Doc, but don't get an ed degree if you don't want to teach.
